Go easy on her when introducing AFX to her... Pick an easy song, like window licker... That'll put the taste in her mouth for sure! |
||||||||
|

don't you guys see the correlation between you giving/sending these girls these music and their liking it? you'd be safe if she already liked it. it doesn't mean anything if she's introduced to it to you and immediately says she likes it. check back with her in a few months to see which cd's she's bought. |
||||||||

you know what else will put a nice taste in her .............. OK, that crossed many boundries....... |

tits .. bound to be a bit of both though right? A very intimate form of marketing if you like? |
||||||||

AAgh! I didn't mean it that way... At least not literaly! :) Twistin my words like that, you ought to be a lawyer or something |

just a dose of harsh reality a lot of people on this board don't want to hear. i think more often than not that's the girl's way of saying the music isn't "bad" (ie: it's bearable) but more importantly she wants to tell the guy that she accepts his musical taste and that it wouldn't be a burden in their friendship or romance. of course, occasionally girls really DO get hooked on idm. that's why i said, time will tell... |

yeah, sorry about that me = shutting up |

I agree tits. Girls you introduce to this type of stuff won't like it 95% of the time. I try not to expose them to it at all because it's bound to happen. Not tosay their bad people, it's just IDM is fundamentally something that prolly won't be liked immediately. My couson and I played some mouse on mars for our friend one time and she was like 'ooh I like it! I like that drop noise!' so she listened to it a bunch of times. It could happen though. I have this other friend who played Drukqs for some of these girls at his school and he said one of them loved it and asked to borrow it and wrote poems or pictures or something to every track! So, I'm not really sure. But then, he loves to give unneeded exposure to bands I like almost just to frustrate me. Like playing Geogaddi before a church youth thing and Drukqs in athletics class during workout.. arg! :) |

tits .. totally agreed .. same with guys and other stuff - like fashion. |
||||||||

Poems?? That's a new one to me! |
||||||||
|
|

... or the classic "do i look fat" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hehe actually to be fair, I think it was pictures.. but still, to every track and actually liking it? hmm |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

Always ease them in with Windowlicker... Every girl I've showed it to so far loves it. I DM (how i hate that term) takes patience and time to "like".... no matter how much you want to show this girl the treasures that are Confield and Gantz Graf... DONT DO IT, they arent ready! And many sadly never will be :( |
||||||||

My g/f never heard Aphex Twin before cos' she mostly listens to bands like Korn,Nightwish,Garbage,Portishead,DJ Shadow and such...so i let her down easy and played "Digeridoo" at first, then moved on to "On" and "SAW 85-92". And now she likes it almost as much as i do...next i'll throw some Squarepusher on her way. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that's an exception to the rule.. if she already likes electronic-y stuff like dj shadow, portishead, and garbage (hell, even korn's most recent albums have been electronic-y) then it's quite sensible to introduce them to idm. :) what squarepusher are you going to play for her? i recommend feed me weird things or perhaps even better for her (as a trip-hop fan), music is rotted one note. |

start a person off with sp with FMWT for sure... isn't that SP's first album anyway? |
||||||||
|
|

|

Ya, you have a point there! I thought i'd start with "Do you know Squarepusher" |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
HA, well where do you start with a gf who's only into sinatra and buena vista social club ?!!! |
||||||||
|
|

I agree with tits worth. Alot of times tehy say they like it just because they're need to be liked by you is more important then their real opinion on it. Try jazzanova or vsnares tony =\ =D |

IDM = Girl Trouble maybe? |

Iroel: lol that would be funny! I was thinking of showing her Gantz Graf for a laugh! C728: eh? |
||||||||
|
|

|

I have it the other way around - can´t meet boyz within this genre.... Or, actually I find it difficult to meet people at all who listens to this kind of music. |

"otherwise it'd be too much like goin out with a female version of yourself, or something." I would love to go out with a female verison of myself. It'd be so conveniant. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Damn right. Clone yourself and just flip one chromosome et voila. Of course she would have to have an identical background/experiences in order to still be you... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes, I suppose that'd be sort of a twin... To be exactly the same she'd need the same experiences, but it's suprising how much is in your genes. It'd be cool to clone yourself at the age you were and just flip the chromosome (wait, wouldn't only women be able to do this as they could destroy the female chromosome in their clone and therefore become male?). Mind you, if they had your memories etc. they'd probably be gay, unless you were, then they'd be straight... Okay, so, you'd need to be a gay woman and make an exact clone of yourself for it to work. Back to the drawing board... Anyone see the red dwarf episode where Rimmer tried this? |

|
|
there's the holandric region on the Y chromosome (ie stuff that ain't on the X) ... dunno i think it'd kinda freak me out, having an XX clone of meself .. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Got a sister Ceri? You'll have 1 probability on 3 to get an exact clone of your X chromosome, that later you can bring up as a little female version fo yourself... Umh look it's oedipus king all over again.... =D Maybe I'll write a book on that ¬_¬ mmmmhhh..... |

hehe... shameless plug.. i feel obligated: |

Awesome stuff quant... |

i don't know many girrls that like IDM, if they did i would use my knowledge to entice them into my sleazy world... |

this thread is insane! :-p It's almost like you're all saying girls are "incomplete" until they start listening to IDM. It's so incredibly shallow to think of a plan for making her like the same music as you :-/ My horoscope once told me: "your idea of what love is, is based on what you've seen in romantic movies"... Alot of people have an idea in their head about what their relationships should be like, and then they try to find the right person to fit into that fantasy. I say just live your life and be happy, eventually you will meet a girl who likes you for what you are (because you are just doing what you want, not hunting for relationships), and if all goes well a relationship will develop. It might be entirely different from what you expected it to be... but that doesn't matter :-) Maybe your girlfriend will someday teach you to like other music besides IDM... maybe she will make you love Sinatra's music :-p Who knows? No-one ever said IDM was the best music in the world... just with all the music i've heard, I really like it. Doesn't mean everybody else has to aswell... |

my girlfriend hates idm . when i played her squarepusher she thought my decks were broke! i love her but im dreading the day she moves in and i can no longer play gantz graph on full volume . she loves r and b, kelly and nelly, that music is dump! youve got to addmit it! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Maybe you could create a room for yourself (like also put the computer there, and call it the "computer-room")... make sure the room has a good door that can close properly... and then you can still listen to all your favorite music without her going crazy from the noise ;-) Well ofcourse it doesn't always work, i imagine you'll also be spending alot of time together, lol. But still... there'll still be plenty of hours where you can play what you like. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
not only is idm not the best music in the world, it's one of the worst -- boring, pointless, and cold. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
WHAT?!?!?! heh |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

Surrounded: Normal relationships are boring. I would rather stay single than going through one of those again =\ |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ive noticed that girls who like idm are pretty nice in general... full of charm and culture like us all we'll all have our idm girl soon ;) |
||||||||

dreamer kinda has a point there |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
of course we see it that way. but i was putting myself in someone else's shoes. the bottomline is it's not very "listenable" so it must suck. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I broke the board =( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what is a "normal" relationship?!? Wait no, let me put it this way: what kind of relationship are you searching for then? And titsworth... you're confusing me :-p Your last two posts are almost the complete opposite of everything i thought i knew about your taste in music, lol |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"what is a "normal" relationship?!? " is the relationship that I will obtain by following your advices =D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

surrounded .. re: the horoscope thing. there's quite a bit of truth in that - you learn what it is to be in love (from television, books etc.) |

george, i'm just playing devil's advocate here. it's not how i feel but i could easily see how someone could think that. compared to other types of music it (eg: central and south american native music) IS boring, pointless, cold, and downright unlistenable. there are exceptions (some afx, some boc) but for the most part, we as idm fans are conditioned into finding the inner beauty of the music. to clarify, i don't actually judge anything based on what other people (especially "The Majority") believe, i just wanted to throw that opinion out there in context of why you can't expect to find or seek out girls who like idm. they exist, but 1) they're rare, and 2) their taste in music shouldn't be something that influences your heart. it's a bonus, not a requirement. |

(bloody hell! I'm beginning to see what tunemx meant...it will ruin the order of the topics and messages... this is annoying! And confusing!). And don't follow my advice iroel :-p lol, it hasn't worked for me at all yet! But i'm still curious what kind of a relationship you're searching for then? I still believe it's the wrong order to first make a "checklist" of what you want in a girl, and then go searching for one that matches it... as i see it that can only lead to dissapointment and frustration :-/ |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|

She has. I have learnt to appreciate Sinatra and I've alway enjoyed jazz singers such as Nat King Cole. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what is happening with that topic??? is it sick? :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
to play the devils advocate again - er.. if that's possible. but i don't think there really are objective elements in music (ie. the appreciation side of things) .. culturally bound me tends to think, you see it through your cultural window. yeah this time thing is quite |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||

oh okay, in that case i actually agree with you! The political correct part of me is just itching to protest against the theory that most girls don't like idm... ;-)hehe... but one need only take a quick look at the members-list of this mb to see that it's actually a fact that idm is mostly listened to by males... weird. I can pretty much see what you're saying... what your average listener might think of this type of music. But it puzzles me why there aren't an equal amount of males and females who can enjoy it. "2) their taste in music shouldn't be something that influences your heart. it's a bonus, not a requirement." Yes :-) Exactly! That's what bothered me about this thread... there's just something wrong about specifically searching for someone who likes idm. (or trying to convert them). |

excellent! :-D Personally i would find this much more interesting... a girl that tries to teach me new things. Not a girl that i want to change to suit me better. Yeah, i i think that's really cool mr. fish! Ever since i've read a review about one of sinatra's albums that said: "and believe me dear reader, there will come a time in your life when this is the only album in the whole world that can help you"... i've been intruiged by him. But still haven't gotten around to actually giving him a listen... will do, someday :-) |
